OBJECTIVE: This 24-week, phase IIb, double-blind study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mavrilimumab (a monoclonal antibody to granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor α) and golimumab (a monoclonal antibody to tumor necrosis factor [anti-TNF]) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have had an inadequate response to disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) (referred to as DMARD-IR) and/or inadequate response to other anti-TNF agents (referred to as anti-TNF-IR). METHODS: Patients with active RA and a history of DMARD-IR (≥1 failed regimen) or DMARD-IR (≥1 failed regimen) and anti-TNF-IR (1-2 failed regimens) were randomized 1:1 to receive either mavrilimumab 100 mg subcutaneously every other week or golimumab 50 mg subcutaneously every 4 weeks alternating with placebo every 4 weeks, administered concomitantly with methotrexate. The primary end points were the American College of Rheumatology 20% improvement (ACR20), 50% improvement, and 70% improvement response rates at week 24, percentage of patients achieving a Disease Activity Score in 28 joints using C-reactive protein level (DAS28-CRP) of <2.6 at week 24, percentage of patients with a score improvement of >0.22 on the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) disability index (DI) at week 24, and safety/tolerability measures. This study was not powered to formally compare the 2 treatments. RESULTS: At week 24, differences in the ACR20, ACR50, and ACR70 response rates between the mavrilimumab treatment group (n = 70) and golimumab treatment group (n = 68) were as follows: in all patients, -3.5% (90% confidence interval [90% CI] -16.8, 9.8), -8.6% (90% CI -22.0, 4.8), and -9.8% (90% CI -21.1, 1.4), respectively; in the anti-TNF-IR group, 11.1% (90% CI -7.8, 29.9), -8.7% (90% CI -28.1, 10.7), and -0.7% (90% CI -18.0, 16.7), respectively. Differences in the percentage of patients achieving a DAS28-CRP of <2.6 at week 24 between the mavrilimumab and golimumab groups were -11.6% (90% CI -23.2, 0.0) in all patients, and -4.0% (90% CI -20.9, 12.9) in the anti-TNF-IR group. The percentage of patients achieving a >0.22 improvement in the HAQ DI score at week 24 was similar between the treatment groups. Treatment-emergent adverse events were reported in 51.4% of mavrilimumab-treated patients and 42.6% of golimumab-treated patients. No deaths were reported, and no specific safety signals were identified. CONCLUSION: The findings of this study demonstrate the clinical efficacy of both treatments, mavrilimumab at a dosage of 100 mg every other week and golimumab at a dosage of 50 mg every 4 weeks, in patients with RA. Both regimens were well-tolerated in patients who had shown an inadequate response to DMARDs and/or other anti-TNF agents.

OBJECTIVE: Mavrilimumab, a human monoclonal antibody, targets granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor α. We undertook to determine the long-term safety and efficacy of mavrilimumab in rheumatoid arthritis patients in 2 phase IIb studies (1071 and 1107) and in 1 open-label extension study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01712399). METHODS: In study 1071, patients with an inadequate response to disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) received mavrilimumab (30, 100, or 150 mg) or placebo every other week plus methotrexate. In study 1107, patients with an inadequate response to anti-tumor necrosis factor agents and/or DMARDs received 100 mg mavrilimumab every other week or 50 mg golimumab every 4 weeks plus methotrexate. Patients entering the open-label extension study received 100 mg mavrilimumab every other week plus methotrexate. Long-term safety and efficacy of mavrilimumab were assessed. RESULTS: A total of 442 patients received mavrilimumab (14 of 245 patients from study 1071, 9 of 70 patients from study 1107, and 52 of 397 patients from the open-label extension study discontinued mavrilimumab treatment throughout the studies). The cumulative safety exposure was 899 patient-years; the median duration of mavrilimumab treatment was 2.5 years (range 0.1-3.3 years). The most common treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) were nasopharyngitis (n = 69; 7.68 per 100 patient-years) and bronchitis (n = 51; 5.68 per 100 patient-years). At weeks 74 and 104, 3.5% and 6.2% of patients, respectively, demonstrated reduction in forced expiratory volume in 1 second, while 2.9% and 3.4% of patients, respectively, demonstrated reduction in forced vital capacity (>20% reduction from baseline to <80% predicted). Most pulmonary changes were transient and only infrequently associated with AEs. Mavrilimumab at 100 mg every other week demonstrated sustained efficacy; at week 122, 65.0% of patients achieved a Disease Activity Score in 28 joints using the C-reactive protein level (DAS28-CRP) of <3.2, and 40.6% of patients achieved a DAS28-CRP of <2.6. CONCLUSION: Long-term treatment with mavrilimumab maintained response and was well-tolerated with no increased incidence of treatment-emergent AEs. Safety data were comparable with those from both phase IIb qualifying studies.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the mechanical enhancement provided by nanocomposite coatings deposited on robocast 45S5 bioglass (BG) scaffolds for bone tissue regeneration. In particular, a nanocomposite layer consisting of hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles, as reinforcing phase, in a polycaprolactone (PCL) matrix was deposited onto the surface of the BG struts conforming the scaffold. Three different HA nanopowders were used in this study. The effect of particle size and morphology of these HA nanopowders on the mechanical performance of 45S5 BG scaffolds is evaluated.
OBJECTIVES: Despite the therapeutic value of current rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatments, agents with alternative modes of action are required. Mavrilimumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody targeting the granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor-α, was evaluated in patients with moderate-to-severe RA. METHODS: In a phase IIb study (NCT01706926), patients with inadequate response to ≥1 synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug(s), Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28)-C reactive protein (CRP)/erythrocyte sedimentation rate ≥3.2, ≥4 swollen joints despite methotrexate (MTX) were randomised 1:1:1:1 to subcutaneous mavrilimumab (150, 100, 30 mg), or placebo every other week (eow), plus MTX for 24 weeks. Coprimary outcomes were DAS28-CRP change from baseline to week 12 and American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 20 response rate (week 24). RESULTS: 326 patients were randomised (150 mg, n=79; 100 mg, n=85; 30 mg, n=81; placebo, n=81); 305 completed the study (September 2012-June 2013). Mavrilimumab treatment significantly reduced DAS28-CRP scores from baseline compared with placebo (change from baseline (SE); 150 mg: -1.90 (0.14), 100 mg: -1.64 (0.13), 30 mg: -1.37 (0.14), placebo: -0.68 (0.14); p<0.001; all dosages compared with placebo).Significantly more mavrilimumab-treated patients achieved ACR20 compared with placebo (week 24: 73.4%, 61.2%, 50.6% vs 24.7%, respectively (p<0.001)). Adverse events were reported in 43 (54.4%), 36 (42.4%), 41 (50.6%) and 38 (46.9%) patients in the mavrilimumab 150, 100, 30 mg eow and placebo groups, respectively. No treatment-related safety signals were identified. CONCLUSIONS: Mavrilimumab significantly decreased RA disease activity, with clinically meaningful responses observed 1 week after treatment initiation, representing a novel mechanism of action with persuasive therapeutic potential.
